I'd like to use VOX on digital modes, but never on phone and I see no way to
set it up by mode such that the gain can be set to a certain value on
phone (000), but higher on digital modes. Am I correct? Yes, I know I can
turn it on and off manually.

I'm not coordinated enough to operate either a foot switch or mike

MY error indeed,,,

I had not correctly set up my micookeyer properly,,, I got that fixed..
Also have learned that my great little Shure 514 hand mic..
( used for testing ) is wired to short the audio output till you PTT.!!
So my testing with the mic was misleading
I used to have a box from AA Engineering called a Smooth Voice Controller. It
was a VOXer with a short audio delay line (bucket brigade IC) to allow the PTT
to get to the radio before your first syllable. The result was no clipping at
the beginning of each phrase. The only downside was that
This is -exactly- what we do in the DSP for the K3's VOX to eliminate
any cutting off of the first syllable. You can talk normally without
that 'Ahh' at the beginning of sentences to avoid loss of info ;-)

(1) There is no VOX delay command. Using Vox remotely, what is good for

Hi John,
There's a new field-test firmware release that includes an updated BG

That's the way the K3 operates.
There are two mode groups; CW/FSK D/PSK D and SSB/AM/FM/DATA A/AFSK A.
Note the A in DATA A and AFSK A ...
So no solution? I want VOX to be on no matter what band im on when i select
